Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.

Complete transposition of the great arteries is a common life-threatening complex cyanotic congenital heart disease in infants, resulting in the operation usually performed about one week after birth. However, little is known about the surgical strategy and experience of transposition of the great arteries with an intact ventricular septum in older patients. Herein, we present an abandoned 7-year-old boy with severe cyanosis with clubbed fingers and toes and then diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries with an intact ventricular septum, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and pulmonary hypertension.

  • A 2-year-old boy presented with swelling and cyanosis in his right hand, which worsened in cool temperatures and was linked to low platelet counts (50-80 × 10^9/L).
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through a biopsy, revealing an increased expression of endothelin-1 and decreased levels of eNOS and A20; the patient improved with treatments including methylprednisolone and sirolimus, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis of KHE in similar cases.
